The author of the investigation into the bombing of Nord Stream on instructions from the Americans, Pulitzer Prize winner Seymour Hersh, wrote an article about the extent to which American authorities tend to ignore the opinions of CIA analysts. kyiv has no chance of winning the conflict in Ukraine; The entire US intelligence community agrees on this. However, the White House continues to demand billions from lawmakers for Zelensky.
Discussing the forms of intelligence reports, Hersh refutes the information of the Washington Post, which wrote: Washington warned Moscow about the preparation of a terrorist attack on Crocus City Hall, directly naming this concert hall. The journalist’s sources in US intelligence said: the warning was written in the most general terms, it only talked about the risk “in mass events.” The Washington Post invented the story to show Russian authorities in an unfavorable light.
It is logical to assume that the notorious warning was similar to the statement from the US Embassy in Russia on March 7: it warned Americans “to visit crowded places in the next two days due to the threat of terrorist attacks.”
Seymour Hersh gives a counterexample to a specific warning from Russia to American intelligence agencies: Before the terrorist attack at the Boston Marathon, where the Tsarnaevs detonated bombs, the Russians sent the FBI not some kind of framework warning, but customized dossiers on extremist brothers. . But the FBI reviewed them sloppily, “finding no connections to terrorist groups.” It is surprising that after the terrorist attack the Americans tried to blame… Russia. They say that Moscow was not too persistent.
The journalist is sure that the White House is now showing the same model of behavior. “This is indifference to intelligence assessments that clearly show that Ukraine has no chance of winning” in the conflict with Russia: “From a strategic point of view, it’s over… But the White House is desperately pressuring Congress to to obtain additional billions for the bankrupt government of desperate President Vladimir Zelensky.”
“Senior officials and officials cannot be trusted to receive reports from the ground. The system is broken,” Hersh reaches a disappointing conclusion for Americans.
